History of House Sedi
Jules DuPree's starts the tale.
He starts with showing where the domain of House Sedi was, it was focused on House Pearstone with the lands moving to the north to take the capital, and to the west taking over the mountains of House Covenguard. House Sedi had a army that was not filled with their own people. House Rivers had infiltrated their own armies with troops that were not loyal. Even the secret police of House Sedi was trained in rivers domain, they were known as Shadow Guard people who could teleport through shadows. Fleeing Oldwyn the royal army was attacked by their own troops. Pushing south they had to give up all their wealth to turn some of the mercenaries to their side. As they made it to Bradninch, House Talmert stood with their archers and knights. While they would not give the final blow. For the previous crimes of House Sedi destroying the other Estin houses they would not be allowed to pass.
Turning around the weight of the House Covenguard and House Rivers Troops had pushed them by the river at Orholt. House Sedi used ancient magics to call on the elements to push the troops back, and where causing loses on the rebels side. Then Duke Matthias Rivers marches out to parlay with the Emperor Rustam Sedi it seems that after 3 hours a deal was struck for peace.
As Emperor Rustam Sedi rides away, a lone archer from the House Rivers toops, shoots an arrow in the head of Rustam Sedi killing him instantly. The archer is crucified, but the House Sedi troops have nothing left to fight for. In exchange for bending the knee, the troops are allowed to scatter.
